4. Carefully remove the old blade and install the new blade, ensuring the teeth are oriented correctly for cutting.
5. Tighten the arbor nut securely while holding the arbor lock.

4.2 Attaching Extension Wings

The two extension wings provide additional support for longer workpieces. Slide them into the designated slots on either side of the saw base and secure them with the provided fasteners.

4.3 Montering af støvposen

Attach the dust bag to the exhaust port at the rear of the blade guard. Ensure it is securely fastened to collect sawdust during operation. For improved dust collection, consider connecting a shop vacuum to the exhaust port.

4.4 Laser Guide Battery Installation

The laser guide requires two AAA batteries (included). Locate the battery compartment, typically on the laser module, and insert the batteries according to the polarity markings.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Grundlæggende betjening

5.3 Geringssnit

The saw allows for miter cuts up to 45 degrees left and right. It features 9 positive detent stops at common angles for quick and accurate adjustments.

1. Løsn låseknappen til geringssnittet.
2. Rotate the turntable to the desired miter angle. The detent stops will help you locate common angles.
3. Spænd geringslåseknappen godt fast.
4. Proceed with the cut as described in Section 5.2.

2. Set the desired bevel angle (Section 5.4).
3. Ensure both angles are locked firmly in place.
4. Proceed with the cut as described in Section 5.2.
